Idea that Dual Core has twice as many cores so can process more instructions and execute them faster leading to better performance.

PC Spec 6 market) Ideas about better CPU, more instructions executed, more performance... Better HDD, more virtual memory and if it's SSD has better R/w time, so better performance... Better GFX, can process more data from cpu into pixels, etc, better performance... More cache more freq. used data can be held and not wrote over.

WAN over wider area, LAN over short local area.
WAN slower as has more data collisions and encounters more data but LAN doesn't.

Supermarker Q)
Security, although I crossed it out...
Accessability.

Database Q)

Record Example: Age.

ideas about being in other table as foreign key.

Correct data types and explination.

for the website ethics and legal question i talked about the data protection act and copyright protection, she needs to make sure any assets she uses for her website are not copyrighted and under fair use so she doesn't get sued.

for the database question I think it gave a hint in the question before, so i put (category = "comedy" AND (year = 2015) since thats what the previous question had its query set out as.

oh yeah the year i put that as well. I gave 2 examples, one in SQL and the one that you said. I was worried i messed up on that question

My teacher said a few months ago after our mock that we could answer any question with code or algorithms that we had to write in pseduo code, flowchart or something like python. But I just want some more opinions.

At the beginning of the question it told you there were three tables user, something and reviews (only reviews was the one shown to us) The user table had something like name DOB and two other things so you were meant to lay it out using those 4 things the table should have had in it. So a record would have looked like:
Name, X, Y, DoB.

I actually quite enjoyed the exam. I got a high B during my year 11 mocks earlier this year without revising but with this exam I done some, so I am hoping for an A.

For the emoji question, regarding the use of Unicode over ASCII, I didn't say about ASCII having a limited bit size (maybe I should of). However, I did say that Unicode is universal so all mobile devices should be able to display these special characters, especially when the text or message is being sent to a different model of phone compared to the sender's model. (E.g iPhone to Samsung Galaxy)

I didn't particularly like the 'Lauren' six marker as ethics wasn't really something I revised at all, so I just said that the website needed to be open for all users, especially disabled students, allowing ease of access. I also went over some privacy and security measures; as well as saying that Lauren should not use copyrighted materials/media on her site without permission.

For the OCR supermarkets (inventive name lol) question I said that a WAN is lots of LANs over a large area, I.e country, whereas a LAN is a local single network over a small area, I.e university campus.

I'm glad I got both the binary questions right according to what you guys are saying.

The next six marker about Quinn's computer was really just referencing his PC's spec list and saying what he can improve, I.e bigger hdd storage capacity, more cache memory and upgraded graphics card(s).

I am actually really happy with my code to the last six marker. I used a python inspired pseudo code to write my answer which actually made sense in my head after sitting there for 15 mins trying to work it out.

Nope, my teacher told us that you can only get half the marks if you do a flow chart apparently. I just did pseudo code and then a python version with comments to explain what each part does.

Oh okay lmao I felt so thick when I was writing out because it would look so stupid if they were asking us to do something completely different
I copied one of the userID's, and then put "Eric, Smith, 16042000" (my birthday ) or something similar

My teacher told me that, if it asks you to write an algorithm, both a flowchart or pseudocode will be accepted equally. When it gets to A level however, they will probably expect pseudocode over flowchart. That's what my teacher told me anyway.
